“Obama could end all speculation about his constitutional eligibility by showing the nation his original long-form birth certificate. A person has to abandon all logic and reason to put forth any theory as to why he won’t.”
____
The simple answer is: He CAN’T.
Now, the real question is apparent. WHY CAN’T HE??
Potential reasons:
1) because the original long form document is from a Nation other than the United States.
2) the original long form states he is of parentage other than what his CURRENT short form says.
3) I leave this one to others to fill in the blanks on.
The real question is “Why can’t the President of the United States Release his Long Form Birth Certificate for public inspection?”
The answer to this very simple question may well get the cretin thrown out of the White House, and get a few people indited. In particular those who deliberately did not certify that the man was a Natural Born Citizen.
Potential reasons:
1) because the original long form document is from a Nation other than the United States.
2) the original long form states he is of parentage other than what his CURRENT short form says.
Whatever it is, it's obviously a deal-breaker for either cultural, or legal reasons. My guess is that he lied about his provenance in interviews, which forced his campaign staff to manufacture a forged COLB that matched his statements. Of course the original says different.
He's already not constitutionally qualified to hold the office of President, per a strict reading of the NBC clause in the Constitution, but the fact that his (alleged) father was a Kenyan is public knowledge.
He's obviously not trying to hide that, so what else might he be trying to hide?
I would vote for place of birth being Kenya, and not Hawaii, but that's just my personal speculation. Who knows what he's hiding?
Considering that Obama was elected President and none of his predecessors had this requirement thrust upon him, the question isn't "why can't he," rather "why should he?"
